Abstract
A DFT/B3LYP model study has been carried out on the cyclocarbopalladation and on an unusual 1,5 vinyl to aryl palladium shift which are the two first steps of a cyclocarbopalladation-Stille coupling tandem reaction of various gamma-bromopropargylic-1,2 diols with alkenyls or alkynyl stannanes catalyzed by Pd(PPh(3))(4). From the calculations, the active intermediates in the catalytic process appear to bear a single phosphine ligand, the palladium(II) center keeping in all cases a square-planar coordination pattern either through intramolecular binding of the triple bond or via an intramolecular Pd...C(phenyl) interaction. The computation of the various transition states and intermediates for the 1,5 vinyl to aryl palladium shift reveals that the intimate mechanism of this pathway corresponds to a one-step hydrogen transfer between the two negatively charged carbon atoms of the vinyl and phenyl groups. A two-step pathway involving a Pd(IV) intermediate is not likely to occur. This conclusion may apply to other 1,n-palladium shifts which have been experimentally observed in various organometallic transformations.
